GoSport Classic Ladder Toss Set

GoSports Ladder Toss is a classic lawn game where players compete to score the most points by tossing and wrapping their bolos around different rungs of the opposite ladder. Each tier ranges from 1-3 points, so aim for the top to score the most points! Play one on one or in teams of two for multiplayer competition.

Portable Cornhole

Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point.

Pickleball Set

Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport in which two players or four players hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a 34-inch-high net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction.
